Customs Clearance Imports to Thamesport
Located on the River Medway in Kent, Thamesport has eight STS gantry cranes and can handle ocean-going vessels with draughts of up to 14.5 metres. As such, it is a significant container port in the Southeast region of England and one that is ideally positioned for many British importers. Onward journeys of goods that arrive in the UK via Thamesport can be made by road via the A228 which offers convenient access to the M2 and the M25. Moreover, two rail freight operators currently provide services to and from the container port.
Officially known as London Thamesport, the port provides both lift-on, lift-off container services and bulk cargo solutions. Many British importers who have goods arriving in the UK will find that its semi-automated operating model makes for fast and efficient service. However, this can be undone when customs officials make inspections of consignments and the importation paperwork that goes with them. This is when a professional customs clearance agent working on your behalf can be so helpful. At Barrington Freight, we will be pleased to provide your firm with customs clearance services in Thamesport to ensure HMRC checks do not cause any unnecessary delays to your imports.
